Description Jean Francois Martinez 2004-03-18 21:57:11 UTC

Description of problem:
I have noticed that redhat-config-network allows to give to a machine
the broacast address  of the network as its own IP.  Ie the config
tool accepted X.X.X.255 for a class C address.   This is illegal

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
The one shipped with Fedora.

How reproducible:
Ever

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Manually configure the card (ie no dhcp)
2.  Assign 192.168.123.255 as trhe IP address
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
